Yes, I remapped my 51 plate wrx and it's a totally different car to drive (for the better!). I'd fit the following parts at the same time (before) the remap.
  • Performance back box (H&S, TSL, Vortex, etc)
  • Performance panel filter (HKS, GREEN, etc)
  • Optional - upgrade fuel pump (Walbro 255)
This will give you aroung 265bhp and 255lb/ft torque.

It's also worth considering taking out your up and down pipe cats (if finances allow). This will save you a bit of cash for a subsequent remap if you decide to take them out later.

This will give you aroung 280+bhp and 270+lb/ft torque (AFAIK)

Do it Phil, it will completely transform the driveability of the car for the better, much smoother off boost and much more fun on boost

As T2T says, a free flowing panel filter, maybe a turbo back decat exhaust and the up-pipe if you can stretch that far, fuel pump is optional safety measure and a EcuTek remap
